Simple blood test could spare patients unnecessary heart scans

NCT ID NCT04144725

Summary

This study aims to see if measuring a specific protein in the blood (troponin) can accurately identify patients who do NOT have significant blockages in their heart arteries. It will enroll 1,000 people who are scheduled for a heart scan due to suspected heart disease. The goal is to develop a simpler way to rule out the disease, potentially avoiding the need for more complex imaging tests for some patients.
